ELR Muzzle Loader Shooting

TFB.
The first shot taken was just to foul the barrel. The second shot was to be at 1500 yards. It was an impact.
Since 1500 was easy-peasy, Bill decided to just go for it. The rest of the shots were taken at the plate at 1780 yards.
This is a heavy gun, with a heavy rifled barrel. The entire configuration is a custom job.
It would appear this is a first.

CapandBall recently released a 900 yard video using an antique muzzle loader. He gives a lot of long range muzzleloader technique information in this presentation. https://youtu.be/grjIA8EqGlM

This reminds me of the rifle in “The Madman of Gaylord’s Corner” by Lucian Cary. In the sense of a completely custom gun intended for extreme range accurate shooting. Mechanically the guns are completely different.
